Devised in the 1940’s by Swiss Importer Dürr Co., the ‘Le Hoyo Series’ parallels the history of the Cuban cigar.

Produced in limited quantities, the ‘Le Hoyo Series’ offer a more complex and woodier blend than the rest of the Hoyo line. Try these different Cuban cigars to widen your palate experience.

New releases (see below), the presence of a plethora of cigar loving stars including Borris Becker, Gary Payton and musicians Delfeayo Marsalis and Omara Portuondo. The world around the Cuban cigars was brought to life with two highlights; the alliance between Habanos cigars and Spanish Rioja wine and a cooking demonstration using Cuban tobacco as the base ingredient by a team of famous Croatian Chefs. The Festival finished off with the traditional Gala evening and Auction. Around $1 million were raised at this year's auction, with the benefits going to the Cuban health system.

This week is the famous Habanos Festival in Havana, Cuba. Tastings, lectures, soirées, visits to the factories and plantations all make up a week of total Cuban cigar immersion. Habanos will also announce the new productions for 2013. Read more about the festival on www.Habanos.com.

Many of you have asked us what cigars we thought were the best smokes in 2012. This being a subjective question, as it is each to their own palate; we have tried to put forward the 4 cigars we think made a real impact. This can be for their smoke, their novelty or their innovation.

Thank you Habanos, finally a Cohiba Piramides in regular production. The shinning light in the 2012 Cigar calendar, the Piramides Extra is balanced flavor to power, perfect in construction and gives progressive development through the smoke, this is one of Habanos's great cigars.

This was a 2011 release, as part of the Casa de Habanos Series, but the H.Upmann Royal Robustos exploded into life during 2012. Highly rated by all cigar magazines, applauded by Master Sommeliers the world over, this Robustos is simply fantastic

Year after year, the Partagas Series D No.4 is smoked all over the world and appreciated by all level of smokers. 2012 was no exception, consistently reliable in blend and excellence in construction. The D No.4 is a legend that every Aficionado should try.

Our personal favorite cigar of 2012, the Cohiba Siglo VI never disappoints. The fat ring diameter, the creamy smooth Cohiba blend, the natural smoking rhythm of the cigar and the ideal length of smoke make this Cuban an essential part of any humidor.

It gives us great pleasure to present to you the Habanos Regional Production cigars. First released on the market in 2005, the Regional Productions were developed to promote the lesser known Habano brands around the world (excludes the Habanos Premium brands). Easily recognizable by their second red and silver band, the Regional Productions run for one year (they can sometimes be re-releases the year after if highly successful) and usually come in numbered boxes (set quantities per release). The cigars are released onto specific regions, as depicted on the Regional Production band ('Exclusivo', followed by the Region Name in Spanish). We have in stock a large selection of these Habanos Regional Productions from all over the world and from past to the latest releases. We hope you will explore these high end Cuban cigars and please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions on these products.

We are happy to announce the arrival of many new cigar on VIPCigars.com over the next few days, just in time for the Christmas build up. Check out the new Mini's, Club's and packs of three across many of the leading Cuban brands.

This weekend sees the first VIPCigar.com Event, with a Cigar Tasting Dinner on Saturday evening. Participants will be wined and dined and more importantly, given the chance to sample some of Habanos's finest cigars of recent years. Our head Sommelier will be present, giving you the chance to ask all your questions and get recommendations on what to smoke and how to store and age your Cuban cigars.

The menu will include a special main course of Simmental Beef Fillet with a tobacco sauce, devised especially for this occasion. Cigars to be sampled during the evening will be:

It gives us great pleasure to unfold the new version of www.VIPCigars.com. Our new lay out should help make your shopping easier and more fluid.
